Ribbon Music is pleased to announce the return of Baltimore’s Lower Dens with their third album, 'Escape from Evil'.

Lower Dens’ 2010 debut, 'Twin-Hand Movement', was a stunning evolution of guitar brilliance and murky emotiveness, while its 2012 follow-up, 'Nootropics' was a stark, textured paean to experimental bands of the krautrock era. 'Escape from Evil' marks a bold, monumental step forward for the band and the welcome manifestation of Jana Hunter as a singer we’ve never quite seen until now.

2012 was an extremely exciting year for 22 year old half-Congolese, half-Angolan solo artist Yannick Ilunga, aka Petite Noir.

Remarkable early momentum for his self released debut single ‘Till We Ghosts’ now sees Petite Noir signed to Domino Records’ sister label Double Six and on many tastemakers’ one-to-watch lists.

‘ Disappear’ is the next page in the Petite Noir story, offering a glimpse of what to expect this year. Like all his music, it is a unique concoction of influences, seamlessly fusing intricate contemporary electronics with his stirring, soulful vocal and African shuffles that echo his homeland.
